Description
WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 SILICONE HYDROGEL CONTACT LENSES HAVING ACCEPTABLE LEVELS OF ENERGY LOSS [0001] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of prior U.S. 5 Provisional Patent Application No. 61/447,197, filed February 28, 2011, which is incorporated in its entirety by reference herein. FIELD [00021 The present disclosure is directed to silicone hydrogel contact lenses and related 10 compositions and methods. BACKGROUND 100031 Commercially and clinically, silicone hydrogel contact lenses are a popular alternative to conventional hydrogel contact lenses (i.e., hydrogel contact lenses that do not 15 contain silicone or silicone-containing ingredients). The presence of siloxanes in silicone hydrogel contact lens formulations is believed to affect the properties of silicone hydrogel contact lenses obtained therefrom. For example, it is believed that the presence of a siloxane component in a contact lens results in a relatively higher oxygen permeability compared to a conventional hydrogel contact lens without a siloxane component. In addition, it is believed 20 that the presence of a silicone component increases the likelihood of hydrophobic domains being present on the lens surface of a silicone hydrogel contact lens as compared to a conventional hydrogel contact lens without a silicone component. The first generation of silicone hydrogel contact lenses provided high levels of oxygen, even though the wettability of the lenses tended to be lower than might be desired. Techniques have been developed to 25 overcome the hydrophobicity issues of silicone hydrogel contact lens surfaces. Based on the popularity of silicone hydrogel contact lenses, there continues to be a need for new silicone hydrogel contact lenses that are ophthalmically compatible, such as new silicone hydrogel contact lenses having acceptable levels of energy loss. 10004] Some documents describing silicone hydrogel contact lenses include: 30 US4711943, US5712327, US5760100, US7825170, US6867245, US20060063852,

As the level of energy loss of a silicone hydrogel contact lens can be related to the level of on-eye movement exhibited by the contact lens during wear, the level of energy loss of a contact lens can have a significant effect on the ophthalmic acceptability of a contact lens. 15 [00061 New silicone hydrogel contact lenses have been invented. Unlike approaches which improved the energy loss of a silicone hydrogel contact lens by adjusting the level of a single silicone macromer present in the contact lens, the present disclosure is related to the discovery that including a second siloxane monomer which is a dual-end methacrylate end capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 20 daltons in the contact lens formulation can improve the energy loss of the silicone hydrogel contact lenses that are made from formulations containing the siloxane of formula (1):

The present disclosure relates to new silicone hydrogel contact lenses. A silicone hydrogel contact lens, in accordance with the present disclosure, comprises a polymeric lens body. The polymeric lens body is the reaction product of a polymerizable composition.

The at least one cross-linking agent can be present in the polymerizable composition in a total amount from about 0.01 unit parts to about 5.0 unit parts by weight. The at least one cross-linking agent can comprise or consist 25 of at least one vinyl-containing cross-linking agent. The at least one vinyl-containing cross linking agent can be present in the polymerizable composition in an amount from about 0.01 unit parts to about 2.0 unit parts by weight, or from about 0.01 unit parts to about 0.5 unit parts. A ratio of an amount of the first siloxane monomer present in the polymerizable composition to the total amount of vinyl-containing cross-linking agents present in the 3 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 polymerizable composition can be from 100:1 to 400:1 based on unit parts by weight.

A total amount of siloxane monomers present in the polymerizable composition can be from about 30 unit parts to about 50 unit parts by weight, such as, for example, from about 35 to about 40 unit parts from about 33 unit parts to 45 about unit parts, or from about 35 unit parts to about 40 unit parts by weight. 15 [00121 In one example, the second siloxane monomer, the second siloxane monomer can be a siloxane monomer represented by formula (2): Rt CH 3

In addition to the first siloxane monomer of formula (1), the polymerizable composition also comprises a second siloxane monomer which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons. The silicone hydrogel contact lens of this example, when fully hydrated, has an energy loss from about 25% to about 25 45%. 5 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 [0016] The present disclosure is also directed to a batch of contact lenses comprising a plurality of contact lenses formed from polymeric lens bodies which are the reaction product of the polymerizable composition described herein. In one example, the batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses, comprising a plurality of the contact lens recited in any preceding 5 claim, wherein the batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses has, when fully hydrated, an average equilibrium water content (EWC) from about 30% wt/wt to about 70% wt/wt, or an average oxygen permeability of at least 55 barrers, or an average captive bubble dynamic advancing contact angle less than 90 degrees, or an average captive bubble static contact angle less than 70 degrees, or any combination thereof, based on averages of values determined for 10 at least 20 individual lenses of the batch.

In addition to the first siloxane monomer of formula (1), the polymerizable composition also comprises 20 and a second siloxane monomer which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons. The method also includes the steps of polymerizing the polymerizable composition in a contact lens mold assembly to form a polymeric lens body; contacting the polymeric lens body with a washing liquid to remove extractable material from the polymeric lens body; and 25 hydrating the polymeric lens body to form a silicone hydrogel contact lens. When the polymerizable composition is polymerized to form a polymeric lens body, and the polymeric lens body is processed to form a fully hydrated silicone hydrogel contact lens, the silicone hydrogel contact lens, when fully hydrated, can have an energy loss from about 25% to about 6 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 45%. The method can further comprise packaging the polymeric lens body or silicone hydrogel contact lens in a contact lens packaging solution in a contact lens package. [00181 In one example of the method, the polymerizing step of the method can comprise polymerizing the polymerizable composition in a contact lens mold assembly having a 5 molding surface formed of a non-polar thermoplastic polymer to form a polymeric lens body. In another example, the polymerizing step of the method can comprise polymerizing the polymerizable composition in a contact lens mold assembly having a molding surface formed of a polar thermoplastic polymer to form a polymeric lens body. [0019] In one example of the method, the contacting step of the method can comprise 10 contacting the polymeric lens body with a washing liquid comprising at least one volatile organic solvent. In another example, the contacting step of the method can comprise contacting the polymeric lens body with a washing liquid free of a volatile organic solvent. In one particular example, the polymeric lens body, as well as the silicon hydrogel contact lens comprising the polymeric lens body, are not contacted by a liquid comprising a volatile 15 organic solvent during the manufacturing. [00201 In one example, the method can further comprise the step of autoclaving the contact lens package to sterilize the silicone hydrogel contact lens and the contact lens packaging solution. [00211 In any of the foregoing polymerizable compositions, or polymeric lens bodies, or 20 silicone hydrogel contact lenses, or batches of silicone hydrogel contact lenses or methods of manufacturing contact lenses, the first siloxane monomer can be represented by formula (1) where m of formula (1) is 4, n of formula (1) is 1, R' of formula (1) is a butyl group, and each
R
2 of formula (1) is independently either a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. The second siloxane monomer of the polymerizable composition is a siloxane monomer having more than 25 one polymerizable functional group, i.e., a multifunctional siloxane monomer, as it is, a bifunctional siloxane monomer. The second siloxane is a siloxane monomer having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons. Additional examples of the second siloxane are described below. [0022] The optional at least one cross-linking agent of the polymerizable composition 30 can comprise a vinyl-containing cross-linking agent. For example, the optional at least one cross-linking agent can consist of a vinyl-containing cross-linking agent (i.e., all of the non 7 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 silicon cross-linking agents present in the polymerizable composition are vinyl-containing cross-linking agents). 100231 Additional embodiments of the polymerizable compositions, polymeric lens bodies, present lenses, lens products, batches of lenses, and methods of manufacturing contact 5 lenses will be apparent from the following description, Examples 1-28, and claims. As can be appreciated from the foregoing and following description, each and every feature described herein, and each and every combination of two or more of such features, and each and every combination of one or more values defining a range, are included within the scope of the present invention provided that the features included in such a combination are not mutually 10 inconsistent. In addition, any feature or combination of features or any value(s) defining a range may be specifically excluded from any embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION 100241 As described herein, it has now been discovered that silicone hydrogel contact 15 lenses can be formed from polymerizable compositions comprising a first siloxane monomer of formula (1) and a second siloxane monomer which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons, and that these silicone hydrogel contact lenses, when fully hydrated, advantageously can have a level of energy loss from about 25% to about 45%. 20 [00251 The present contact lenses comprise, or consist of, hydrated lens bodies comprising a polymeric component and a liquid component. The polymeric component comprises units of two or more siloxane monomers (i.e., a siloxane monomer of formula (1), a second siloxane monomer which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons, and optionally one or 25 more additional siloxane monomers), and one or more non-silicon reactive ingredients (i.e., one or more hydrophilic monomers, or one or more cross-linking agents, or one or more hydrophobic monomers, or any combination thereof). It can therefore be understood that the polymeric component is the reaction product of a polymerizable composition comprising two or more siloxane monomers (two or more siloxane monomers present as the siloxane 30 monomer component of the composition), and one or more non-silicon reactive ingredients. As used herein, a non-silicon reactive ingredient is understood to be an ingredient which has a 8 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 polymerizable double bond as part of its molecular structure, but which does not have a silicon atom in its molecular structure. The ingredients of the polymerizable composition can be monomers, macromers, pre-polymers, polymers, or any combination thereof. In addition to the first siloxane monomer of formula (1), the polymerizable composition further includes a 5 second siloxane monomer which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons. Optionally, the ingredients of the polymerizable composition can further comprise at least one hydrophilic monomer, or at least one hydrophobic monomer, or at least one third siloxane monomer, or any combination thereof. The at least one cross-linking agent, the at least one hydrophilic 10 monomer, and the at least one hydrophobic monomer of the polymerizable composition are understood to be silicon-free polymerizable ingredients. As used herein, the at least one cross linking agent can be understood to comprise a single cross-linking agent, or to comprise a cross-linking agent component composed of two or more cross-linking agents. Similarly, the optional at least one hydrophilic monomer can be understood to comprise a single hydrophilic 15 monomer, or to comprise a hydrophilic monomer component composed of two or more hydrophilic monomers. The optional at least one hydrophobic monomer can be understood to comprise a single hydrophobic monomer, or to comprise a hydrophobic monomer component composed of two or more hydrophobic monomers. The optional at least one third siloxane monomer can be understood to comprise a single third siloxane monomer, or to comprise a 20 third siloxane monomer component composed of two or more siloxane monomers. Additionally, the polymerizable composition can optionally include at least one initiator, or at least one organic diluent, or at least one surfactant, or at least one oxygen scavenger, or at least one tinting agent, or at least one UV absorber, or at least one chain transfer agent, or any combination thereof. The optional at least one initiator, at least one organic diluent, at least 25 one surfactant, at least one oxygen scavenger, at least one tinting agent, at least one UV absorber, or at least one chain transfer agent are understood to be non-silicon ingredients, and can be either non-polymerizable ingredients or polymerizable ingredients (i.e., ingredients having a polymerizable functional group as part of their molecular structure). [0026] One example of the present disclosure is directed to a silicone hydrogel contact 30 lens, comprising: a polymeric lens body that is the reaction product of a polymerizable 9 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 composition, said polymerizable composition comprising (a) a first siloxane monomer represented by formula (1):

3 CLH3 wherein m of formula (1) represents one integer from 3 to 10, n of formula (1) represents one 5 integer from I to 10, RI of formula (1) is an alkyl group having from I to 4 carbon atoms, and R2 of formula (1) is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and (b) a second siloxane monomer which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons; wherein the silicone hydrogel contact lens, when fully hydrated, has an energy loss from about 25% to about 45%. The silicone hydrogel 10 contact lens, when fully hydrated, can have an energy loss from about 27% to about 40%. 10027] The combination of the polymeric component and the liquid component are present as a hydrated lens body, which is suitable for placement on an eye of a person. The hydrated lens body has a generally convex anterior surface and a generally concave posterior surface, and has an equilibrium water content (EWC) greater than 10% weight by weight 15 (wt/wt). Thus, the present contact lenses can be understood to be soft contact lenses, which as used herein, refers to contact lenses that, when fully hydrated, can be folded upon themselves without breaking. [00281 As understood in the industry, a daily disposable contact lens is an unworn contact lens that is removed from its sealed, sterilized package (primary package) produced by 20 a contact lens manufacturer, placed on a person's eye, and is removed and discarded after the person is done wearing the lens at the end of the day. Typically, the duration of lens wear for daily disposable contact lenses is from eight to fourteen hours, and they are then disposed of after wear. Daily disposable lenses are not cleaned or exposed to cleaning solutions prior to placement in the eye since they are sterile prior to opening the package. A daily disposable 25 silicone hydrogel contact lens is a disposable silicone hydrogel contact lens that is replaced daily. In contrast, non-daily disposable contact lenses are disposable contact lenses that are replaced less frequently than daily (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly). Non-daily disposable contact lenses are either removed from the eye and cleaned with a cleaning solution 10 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 on a regular basis, or are worn continuously without removal from the eye. The present contact lenses can be either daily disposable contact lenses or non-daily disposable contact lenses. [0029] When energy loading and unloading cycles are applied to viscoelastic materials 5 such as silicone hydrogel materials, the stress-strain curve will show a phase lag or hysteresis loop due to the energy lost from the system (as heat) during the cycle. Percentage of energy loss can be determined using a number of methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, a sample can be stretched to 100% strain and then returned to 0% strain at a constant rate such as, for example, 50 mm/minute. Plotting the percentage of tensile strain 10 against the tensile force applied to the sample will produce a plot showing the hysteresis loop. The percentage of energy loss for the material can be calculated by the following equation (B): ((Energy 0 to 100% strain - Energy 100 to 0% strain)/ Energy 0 to 100% strain) x100 (B) where Energy 0 to 100% strain represents the energy applied to stretch the material to 100% strain, is and Energy 100 to 0% strain represents the energy released when the material is returned to 0% from 100% strain. [0030] In one example, the silicone hydrogel contact lens is a silicone hydrogel contact lens, comprising: a polymeric lens body that is the reaction product of a polymerizable composition, said polymerizable composition comprising (a) a first siloxane monomer 20 represented by formula (1):

A lower percentage of energy loss indicates the material has a higher level of elasticity and is less viscous, while a higher percentage of energy loss indicates the material has a lower level of elasticity and is more viscous. Elastomers with lower percentages of energy loss tend to be more 'bouncy' under force, while elastomers with higher percentages 10 of energy loss tend to be more 'compliant'. For contact lenses, materials which are more 'compliant' tend to move less on the eye, while materials which are more 'bouncy' tend to move more on the eye. It is important for corneal health to have a minimum level of on-eye movement. However, in order for a lens to provide an improvement in vision, the level of on eye movement should be minimized so that the lens remains in place following blinking. Thus, 15 achieving an appropriate level of energy loss is an important factor in the development of a silicone hydrogel contact lens. [0032] As described herein, it has been found that polymerizable compositions comprising a first siloxane monomer represented by formula (1) and a second siloxane which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average 20 molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons can be used to produce silicone hydrogel contact lenses having ophthalmically acceptable levels of energy loss. Silicone hydrogel contact lenses formed of polymers comprising polymerized units of the first siloxane and the second siloxane, optionally in combination with polymerized units of a third siloxane monomer, or polymerized units of at least one cross-linking agent, or polymerized units of at least one 25 hydrophilic monomer, or any combination thereof, when fully hydrated, can exhibit adequate levels of on-eye movement for promoting good corneal health, while exhibiting low enough levels of on-eye movement for lenses formed from these materials to provide good vision correction.

The silicone hydrogel contact lens, when fully hydrated, can have an energy loss from about 27% to about 40%. [00511 As used herein, a molecular weight is understood to refer to the number average 5 molecular weight. The number average molecular weight is the ordinary arithmetic mean or average of the molecular weights of the individual molecules present in the sample of a monomer. As the individual molecules in a sample of monomer may vary slightly from one another in molar mass, some level of polydispersity may be present in the sample. As used herein, when the siloxane monomer, or any other monomer, macromer, pre-polymer, or 1o polymer, of the polymerizable composition is polydisperse, the term "molecular weight" refers to the number average molecular weight of the monomer or ingredient. As one example, a sample of the siloxane monomer can have a number average molecular weight of about 15,000 daltons, but if the sample is polydisperse, the actual molecular weights of the individual monomers present in the sample may range from 12,000 daltons to 18,000 daltons. 15 [00521 The number average molecular weight can be the absolute number average molecular weight as determined by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) end group analysis, as understood by persons of ordinary skill in the art. Molecular weights may also be determined using gel permeation chromatography, as understood by persons of ordinary skill in the art, or may be provided by suppliers of the chemicals. 20 [00531 The first siloxane monomer, the second siloxane monomer and, when present, the optional at least one third siloxane monomer, comprise the siloxane monomer component of the polymerizable composition. Each of the first siloxane monomer, or the second siloxane monomer, or the optional at least one third siloxane monomer, or any combination thereof, can be a hydrophilic siloxane monomer, or a hydrophobic siloxane monomer, or can have both 25 hydrophilic regions and hydrophobic regions, depending on the amount and location of any hydrophilic components, such as units of ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and the like, present in the molecular structure of the siloxane monomers. [0054] For example, the optional second siloxane monomer, or the optional at least one third siloxane monomer, or any combination thereof, can contain hydrophilic components 30 within the main chain of the siloxane molecule, can contain hydrophilic components within one or more side chains of the siloxane molecule, or any combination thereof. For example, 21 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 the siloxane monomer can have at least one unit of ethylene glycol adjacent to a polymerizable functional group in the main chain of the siloxane molecule. As used herein, adjacent is understood to mean both immediately adjacent, and separated only by 10 or fewer carbon atoms. The at least one unit of ethylene glycol adjacent to a polymerizable functional group in 5 the main chain of the siloxane molecule can be separated from the polymerizable functional group by a carbon chain 1-5 units in length (i.e., where the ethylene glycol unit is bonded to the first carbon in the carbon chain 1-5 units in length, and the polymerizable functional group is bonded to the last carbon of the carbon chain 1-5 units in length, in other words, the ethylene glycol unit and the polymerizable group are not immediately adjacent but are 10 separated by 1-5 carbon atoms). The siloxane monomer can have at least one unit of ethylene glycol adjacent to polymerizable functional groups present on both ends of the main chain of the siloxane molecule. The siloxane monomer can have at least one unit of ethylene glycol present in at least one side chain of the siloxane molecule. The at least one unit of ethylene glycol present in at least one side chain of the siloxane molecule can be part of a side chain is bonded to a silicon atom of the main chain of the siloxane molecule. The siloxane molecule can have both at least one unit of ethylene glycol adjacent to polymerizable functional groups present on both ends of the main chain of the siloxane molecule, and at least one unit of ethylene glycol present in at least one side chain of the siloxane molecule.

The silicone hydrogel contact lens, when fully hydrated, can have an energy loss from about 27% to about 40%. 5 [00561 The hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity of a monomer can be determined using conventional techniques, such as, for example, based on the monomer's aqueous solubility. For purposes of the present disclosure, a hydrophilic monomer is a monomer that is visibly soluble in an aqueous solution at room temperature (e.g. about 20-25 degrees C). For example, a hydrophilic monomer can be understood to be any monomer for which 50 grams or 10 more of the monomer are visibly fully soluble in 1 liter of water at 20 degrees C (i.e., the monomer is soluble at a level of at least 5% wt/wt in water) as determined using a standard shake flask method as known to persons of ordinary skill in the art. A hydrophobic monomer, as used herein, is a monomer that is visibly insoluble in an aqueous solution at room temperature, such that separate, visually identifiable phases are present in the aqueous is solution, or such that the aqueous solution appears cloudy and separates into two distinct phases over time after sitting at room temperature. For example, a hydrophobic monomer can be understood to be any monomer for which 50 grams of the monomer are not visibly fully soluble in 1 liter of water at 20 degrees C (i.e., the monomer is soluble at a level of less than 5% wt/wt in water). 20 10057] In one example of the present disclosure, the second siloxane monomer or the optional at least one third siloxane monomer can be a multifunctional siloxane monomer. As the second siloxane monomer has two functional groups, such as two methacrylate groups, it is a bifunctional monomer. [00581 The optional at least one third siloxane monomer can be a siloxane monomer 25 having a polymerizable functional group present on one end of the main chain of the monomer.

Additional example of such bifunctional siloxane monomer, and methods of making compounds of formula (6) are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,867,245, which is hereby 5 incorporated by reference. In a particular example, the siloxane monomer can be a bifunctional siloxane monomer having two urethane linkages and having a molecular weight greater than about 5,000 daltons, such as, for example, a molecular weight greater than about 10,000 daltons, or a molecular weight of greater than about 15,000 daltons. 100751 In one example of the present contact lenses, the optional at least one third 10 siloxane monomer can have a number average molecular weight of at least 4,000 daltons, or at least 7,000 daltons, or at least 9,000 daltons, or at least 11,000 daltons. The number average molecular weight of the siloxane monomer can be less than 20,000 daltons. Thus, in some contexts, the second siloxane monomer can be considered a macromer, but it will be referred to as a monomer herein since it forms a unit part of a polymer formed with the other reactive 15 components of the polymerizable composition. [0076] In one example, the first siloxane monomer and the second siloxane monomer can be present in the polymerizable composition in amounts such that the ratio of the first siloxane monomer to the second siloxane monomer is at least 1:1 based on unit parts, or is at least 2:1 based on unit parts. For example, the first siloxane monomer and the second siloxane 20 monomer can be present in the polymerizable composition in a ratio from about 2:1 to about 10:1 based on unit parts. In another example, the first siloxane monomer and the second siloxane monomer can be present in the polymerizable composition in a ratio from about 3:1 to about 6:1 based on unit parts. In one example, the first siloxane monomer and the second siloxane monomer can be present in the polymerizable composition in a ratio of about 4:1 25 based on unit parts.

3 wherein m of formula (1) represents one integer from 3 to 10, n of formula (1) represents one integer from 1 to 10, R1 of formula (1) is an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R2 of formula (1) is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; (b) a second siloxane monomer 5 which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons; wherein a ratio of an amount of the first siloxane monomer present in the polymerizable composition to an amount of the second siloxane monomer present in the polymerizable composition is at least 3:1 based on unit parts by weight, and wherein the silicone hydrogel contact lens, when fully hydrated, has an energy 10 loss from about 25% to about 45%. The silicone hydrogel contact lens, when fully hydrated, can have an energy loss from about 27% to about 40%. 10078] The total amount of siloxane monomers present in the polymerizable composition (e.g., the sum of the unit parts of the first siloxane monomer, the second siloxane monomer, and any other optional siloxane monomers present in the polymerizable composition) can be 15 from about 10 to about 60 unit parts, or from about 25 to about 50 unit parts, or from about 35 to about 40 unit parts. [00791 The polymerizable compositions of the present disclosure can be understood to comprise a first component consisting of a first siloxane monomer of formula (1), a second siloxane monomer which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having 20 a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons, and a second component comprising at least one third siloxane monomer, or at least one cross-linking agent, or at least one hydrophilic monomer, or at least one hydrophobic monomer, or any combination thereof. The optional at least one cross-linking agent can be present as a single cross-linking agent, or can be present as a cross-linking agent component comprising two or more single cross 25 linking agents. As used herein, the cross-linking agent and cross-linking agent component are non-silicon cross-linking agents and thus are different from multifunctional siloxane monomers which may be present in the polymerizable composition. [0080] As used herein, unit parts is understood to mean unit parts by weight. For example, to prepare a formulation described as comprising x unit parts of a siloxane monomer 31 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 and y unit parts of a hydrophilic monomer, the composition can be prepared by combining x grams of the siloxane monomer with y grams of the hydrophilic monomer to obtain a total of y+z grams of polymerizable composition, or by combining z ounces of the siloxane with y ounces of the hydrophilic monomer to obtain a total of y+z ounces of polymerizable 5 composition, and so on. When the composition further comprises additional optional ingredients such as, for example, x unit parts of a cross-linking agent, x grams of the cross linking agent are combined with z grams of the siloxane monomer and y grams of the hydrophilic monomer to obtain a total of x+y+z grams of polymerizable composition, and so on. When the composition comprises an additional optional ingredient comprising an 10 ingredient component composed of two ingredients, such as, for example, a hydrophobic monomer component consisting of a first hydrophobic monomer and a second hydrophobic monomer, in addition to the z unit parts of siloxane monomer, the y unit parts of hydrophilic monomer and the x unit parts of the cross-linker, w unit parts of the first hydrophobic monomer and v unit parts of the second hydrophobic monomer are combined to obtain a total 15 amount of v+w+x+y+z unit parts of the polymerizable composition. It is understood that the unit parts of the at least one hydrophobic monomer present in such a polymerizable is the sum of the unit parts of the first hydrophobic monomer and the unit parts of the second hydrophobic monomer, e.g., v+w unit parts in this example. Typically, a formula for a polymerizable composition will be composed of ingredients in amounts totaling from about 90 20 to about 110 unit parts by weight. When amounts of components of the polymerizable composition are recited herein as being in unit parts, it is to be understood that the unit parts of these component are based on a formula providing a total weight of the composition ranging from about 90 to 110 unit parts. In one example, the unit parts by weight can be based on a formula providing a total weight of the composition ranging from about 95 to 105 unit parts by 25 weight, or from about 98 to 102 unit parts by weight. 10081] In accordance with the present disclosure, a cross-linking agent is understood to be a monomer having more than one polymerizable functional group as part of its molecular structure, such as two or three or four polymerizable functional groups, i.e., a multifunctional monomer such as a bifunctional or trifunctional or tetrafunctional monomer. Non-silicon 30 cross-linking agents that can be used in the polymerizable compositions disclosed herein include, for example, without limitation, allyl (meth)acrylate, or lower alkylene glycol 32 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 di(meth)acrylate, or poly(lower alkylene) glycol di(meth)acrylate, or lower alkylene di(meth)acrylate, or divinyl ether, or divinyl sulfone, or di- and trivinylbenzene, or trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, or pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, or bisphenol A di(meth)acrylate, or methylenebis(meth)acrylamide, or triallyl phthalate and diallyl phthalate, 5 or any combination thereof. Cross-linking agents, as disclosed in Examples 1-28, include, for example, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), or triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), or triethylene glycol divinyl ether (TEGDVE), or any combination thereof. In one example, the cross-linking agent can have a molecular weight less than 1500 daltons, or less than 1000 daltons, or less than 500 daltons, or less than 200 daltons. 10 [00821 In one example, the cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent component can comprise or consist of a vinyl-containing cross-linking agent. As used herein, a vinyl containing cross-linking agent is a monomer having at least two polymerizable carbon-carbon double bonds (i.e., at least two vinyl polymerizable functional groups) present in its molecular structure, where each of the at least two polymerizable carbon-carbon double bonds present in 15 the vinyl polymerizable functional groups of the vinyl-containing cross-linking agent is less reactive than a carbon-carbon double bond present in an acrylate or methacrylate polymerizable functional group. Although carbon-carbon double bonds are present in acrylate and methacrylate polymerizable functional groups, as understood herein, cross-linking agents comprising one or more acrylate or methacrylate polymerizable group (e.g., an acrylate 20 containing cross-linking agent or a methacrylate-containing cross-linking agent) are not considered to be vinyl-containing cross-linking agents. Polymerizable functional groups having carbon-carbon double bonds which are less reactive than the carbon-carbon double bonds of acrylate or methacrylate polymerizable groups include, for example, vinyl amide, vinyl ester, vinyl ether and allyl ester polymerizable functional groups. Thus, as used herein, 25 vinyl-containing cross-linking agents include, for example, cross-linking agents having at least two polymerizable functional groups selected from a vinyl amide, a vinyl ether, a vinyl ester, an allyl ester, and any combination thereof. As used herein, a mixed vinyl-containing cross linking agent is a cross-linking agent having at least one polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond (i.e., at least one vinyl polymerizable functional group) present in its structure which is 30 less reactive than the carbon-carbon double bond present in an acrylate or methacrylate polymerizable functional group, and at least one polymerizable functional group present in its 33 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 structure having a carbon-carbon double bond which is at least as reactive as the carbon carbon double bond in an acrylate or methacrylate polymerizable functional group. [0083] When present in the polymerizable composition, the vinyl-containing cross linking agent or cross-linking agent component can be present in an amount from about 0.01 5 unit parts to from about 2.0 unit parts, or from about 0.01 unit parts to about 0.80 unit parts, or from about 0.01 unit parts to about 0.30 unit parts, or from about 0.05 unit parts to about 0.20 unit parts, or in an amount of about 0.1 unit parts. [0084] In one example, the cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent component can comprise or consist of a non-vinyl-containing cross-linking agent, i.e., a cross-linking agent 10 which is not a vinyl-containing cross-linking agent. For example, the non-vinyl-containing cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent component can comprise or consist of an acrylate containing cross-linking agent (i.e., a cross-linking agent having at least two acrylate polymerizable functional groups), or a methacrylate-containing cross-linking agent (i.e., at least two methacrylate polymerizable functional groups), or at least one acrylate-containing 15 cross-linking agent and at least one methacrylate-containing cross-linking agent. [00851 When present in the polymerizable composition, the non-vinyl cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent can be present in an amount from about 0.01 unit parts to about 5 unit parts, or from about 0.1 unit parts to about 4 unit parts, or from about 0.3 unit parts to about 3.0 unit parts, or from about 0.2 unit parts to about 2.0 unit parts. 20 [0086] The cross-linking agent component can comprise or consist of a combination of two or more cross-linking agents, each of which has a different polymerizable functional group. For example, the cross-linking agent component can comprise one vinyl-containing cross-linking agent, and one acrylate-containing cross-linking agent. The cross-linking agent component can comprise one vinyl-containing cross-linking agent and one methacrylate 25 containing cross-linking group. The cross-linking agent component can comprise or consist of one vinyl ether-containing cross-linking agent, and one methacrylate-containing cross-linking agent. [0087] In one example, the polymerizable compositions of the present disclosure can optionally comprise at least one hydrophilic monomer. The hydrophilic monomer is 30 understood to be a non-silicone polymerizable ingredient having only one polymerizable functional group present in its molecular structure. The polymerizable compositions can 34 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 comprise a single hydrophilic monomer, or can comprise two or more hydrophilic monomers present as the hydrophilic monomer component. Non-silicon hydrophilic monomers which can be used as the hydrophilic monomer or the hydrophilic monomer component in the polymerizable compositions disclosed herein include, for example, acrylamide-containing 5 monomers, or acrylate-containing monomers, or acrylic acid-containing monomers, or methacrylate-containing monomers, or methacrylic acid-containing monomers, or any combination thereof. In one example, the hydrophilic monomer or monomer component can comprise or consist of a methacrylate-containing hydrophilic monomer. It is understood that the hydrophilic monomer or hydrophilic monomer component is a non-silicon monomer. 10 [00881 In one example, the silicone hydrogel contact lens is a silicone hydrogel contact lens, comprising: a polymeric lens body that is the reaction product of a polymerizable composition, said polymerizable composition comprising (a) a first siloxane monomer represented by formula (1):

In another example, the first hydrophilic monomer has a different polymerizable functional group than each monomer of the second hydrophilic monomer component. In yet another example, each monomer of the first hydrophilic monomer component has a different polymerizable functional group than each monomer of the second hydrophilic monomer 25 component. [00971 For example, when the first hydrophilic monomer or monomer component comprises or consists of one or more amide-containing monomers, the second hydrophilic monomer or monomer component can comprise or consist of one or more non-amide monomers (i.e., one or more monomers each of which do not have an amide functional group 30 as part of their molecular structures).

In a particular example, the first hydrophilic monomer or monomer component can comprise or consist of one or more amide containing monomers each having an N-vinyl group, and the second hydrophilic monomer or monomer component can comprise or consist of one or more vinyl ether-containing 20 monomers. [00981 In one example, when the first hydrophilic monomer or monomer component comprises or consists of a hydrophilic amide-containing monomer having one N-vinyl group, the second hydrophilic monomer or monomer component can comprise or consist of a vinyl ether-containing monomer. In a particular example, the first hydrophilic monomer can 25 comprise VMA, and the second hydrophilic monomer or monomer component can comprise BVE or EGVE or DEGVE or any combination thereof. The first hydrophilic monomer can comprise VMA and the second hydrophilic monomer can comprise BVE. The first hydrophilic monomer can comprise VMA and the second hydrophilic monomer can comprise EGVE. The first hydrophilic monomer can comprise VMA and the second hydrophilic monomer can 30 comprise DEGVE. The first hydrophilic monomer can comprise VMA, and the second hydrophilic monomer component can comprise EGVE and DEGVE. 39 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 100991 Similarly, the first hydrophilic monomer can be VMA, and the second hydrophilic monomer or monomer component can comprise BVE or EGVE or DEGVE or any combination thereof. The first hydrophilic monomer can be VMA and the second hydrophilic monomer can be BVE. The first hydrophilic monomer can be VMA and the second 5 hydrophilic monomer can be EGVE. The first hydrophilic monomer can comprise VMA and the second hydrophilic monomer can be DEGVE.

[00100] In another example, the non-silicon hydrophilic vinyl-containing monomer can 10 have any molecular weight, such as a molecular weight less than 400 daltons, or less than 300 daltons, or less than 250 daltons, or less than 200 daltons, or less than 150 daltons, or from about 75 to about 200 daltons. [001011 When a hydrophilic monomer or a hydrophilic monomer component is present in the polymerizable composition, the hydrophilic monomer or monomer component can be is present in the polymerizable composition in an amount from 30 to 60 unit parts of the polymerizable composition.

In another example, the second hydrophilic monomer or monomer component can be present in the polymerizable composition from 1 to 15 unit parts, or from 2 to 10 unit parts, or from 3 to 7 unit parts. [001021 As used herein, a vinyl-containing monomer is a monomer having a single 30 polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond (i.e., a vinyl polymerizable functional group) present in its molecular structure, where, under free radical polymerization, the carbon-carbon 40 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 double bond in the vinyl polymerizable functional group is less reactive than the carbon carbon double bond present in an acrylate or a methacrylate polymerizable functional group. In other words, although a carbon-carbon double bond is present in acrylate groups and methacrylate groups, as understood herein, monomers comprising a single acrylate or 5 methacrylate polymerizable group are not considered to be vinyl-containing monomers. Examples of polymerizable groups having carbon-carbon double bonds which are less reactive than the carbon-carbon double bonds of acrylate or methacrylate polymerizable groups include vinyl amide, vinyl ether, vinyl ester, and allyl ester polymerizable groups. Thus, as used herein, examples of vinyl-containing monomers include monomers having a single vinyl 10 amide, a single vinyl ether, a single vinyl ester, or a single allyl ester polymerizable group. [001031 In addition, the polymerizable compositions of the present disclosure can optionally comprise at least one non-silicon hydrophobic monomer.

In one particular example, the hydrophobic monomer or monomer component can 30 comprise or consist of MMA, or EGMA, or both. 41 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 [001041 In one example, the silicone hydrogel contact lens is a silicone hydrogel contact lens, comprising: a polymeric lens body that is the reaction product of a polymerizable composition, said polymerizable composition comprising (a) a first siloxane monomer represented by formula (1):

In addition, many of the present polymerizable compositions are essentially free of water (e.g., contain no more than 3.0% or 2.0% water by weight).The polymerizable compositions disclosed herein can optionally comprise one or more organic diluents, i.e., the polymerizable composition can comprise an organic diluent, or can comprise an organic 15 diluent component comprising two or more organic diluents.

[001081 The present polymerizable compositions can optionally comprise one or more polymerization initiators, i.e., the polymerizable composition can comprise an initiator, or can comprise an initiator component comprising two or more polymerization initiators. 25 Polymerization initiators that can be included in the present polymerizable compositions include, for example, azo compounds, or organic peroxides, or both.

In one example, the tinting agent can be a reactive dye or pigment effective to provide color to the resulting lens product. The tinting agent or tinting agent component of the polymerizable composition can comprise a polymerizable tinting agent, or can comprise a non-polymerizable tinting agent, or any combination thereof.

Examples of monomer-dye compounds include RB-4 15 HEMA and RB- 19 HEMA. Additional examples of monomer-dye compounds are described in US5944853 and US7216975, both of which are incorporated in their entirety by reference herein.

[001131 The contact lenses of the present disclosure, as they are configured to be placed or disposed on a cornea of an animal or human eye, are ophthalmically acceptable contact lenses. As used herein, an ophthalmically acceptable contact lens is understood to be a contact 25 lens having at least one of a number of different properties as described below. An ophthalmically acceptable contact lens can be formed of, and packaged in, ophthalmically acceptable ingredients such that the lens is not cytotoxic and does not release irritating and/or toxic ingredients during wear. An ophthalmically acceptable contact lens can have a level of clarity in the optic zone of the lens (i.e., the portion of the lens providing vision correction) 30 sufficient for its intended use in contact with the cornea of an eye, for example, a transmittance of at least 80%, or at least 90%, or at least 95% of visible light. An ophthalmically acceptable 46 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 contact lens can have sufficient mechanical properties to facilitate lens handling and care for a duration of time based on its intended lifetime. For example, its modulus, tensile strength, and elongation can be sufficient to withstand insertion, wear, removal and, optionally, cleaning over the intended lifetime of the lens. The level of these properties which are appropriate will 5 vary depending upon the intended lifetime and usage of the lens (e.g., single use daily disposable, multiple use monthly, etc). An ophthalmically acceptable contact lens can have an effective or appropriate ionoflux to substantially inhibit or substantially prevent corneal staining, such as corneal staining more severe than superficial or moderate corneal staining after continuous wear of the lens on a cornea for 8 or more hours. An ophthalmically 10 acceptable contact lens can have a level of oxygen permeability sufficient to allow oxygen to reach the cornea of an eye wearing the lens in an amount sufficient for long term corneal health. An ophthalmically acceptable contact lens can be a lens which does not cause substantial or undue corneal swelling in an eye wearing the lens, for example, no more than about 5% or 10% corneal swelling after being worn on a cornea of an eye during an overnight 15 sleep. An ophthalmically acceptable contact lens can be a lens which allows movement of the lens on the cornea of an eye wearing the lens sufficient to facilitate tear flow between the lens and the eye, in other words, does not cause the lens to adhere to the eye with sufficient force to prevent normal lens movement, and that has a low enough level of movement on the eye to allow vision correction. An ophthalmically acceptable contact lens can be a lens which allows 20 wearing of the lens on the eye without undue or significant discomfort and/or irritation and/or pain. An ophthalmically acceptable contact lens can be a lens which inhibits or substantially prevents lipid and/or protein deposition sufficient to cause the lens wearer to remove the lens because of such deposits. An ophthalmically acceptable contact lens can have at least one of a water content, or a surface wettability, or a modulus or a design, or any combination thereof, 25 that is effective to facilitate ophthalmically compatible wearing of the contact lens by a contact lens wearer at least for one day. Ophthalmically compatible wearing is understood to refer to the wearing of a lens by a lens wearer with little or no discomfort, and with little or no occurrence of corneal staining. Determining whether a contact lens is ophthalmically acceptable can be achieved using conventional clinical methods, such as those performed by 30 an eye care practitioner, and as understood by persons of ordinary skill in the art. 47 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 [001141 In one example of the present disclosure, the contact lens can have ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces. For example, the contact lens can have the ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces when the polymerizable composition used to form the polymeric lens body is free of an internal wetting agent, or when the polymerizable 5 composition used to form the polymeric lens body is free of an organic diluent, or when the polymeric lens body is extracted in water or an aqueous solution free of a volatile organic solvent, or when the polymeric lens body is free of a surface plasma treatment, or any combination thereof. [00115] One approach commonly used in the art to increase the wettability of contact lens 10 surfaces is to apply treatments to the lens surfaces or to modify the lens surfaces. In accordance with the present disclosure, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses can have ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces without the presence of a surface treatment or surface modification. Surface treatments include, for example, plasma and corona treatments which increase the hydrophilicity of the lens surface. While it is possible to apply 15 one or more surface plasma treatments to the present lens bodies, it is not necessary to do so in order to obtain a silicone hydrogel contact lens having ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces when fully hydrated. In other words, in one example, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the present disclosure can be can be free of a surface plasma or corona treatment. [001161 Surface modifications include binding wetting agents to the lens surface, such as, 20 for example, binding a wetting agent such as a hydrophilic polymer to at least a lens surface by chemical bonding or another form of chemical interaction. In some cases, the wetting agent may be bound to the lens surface as well as a least a portion of the polymeric matrix of the lens, i.e., at least a portion of the bulk of the lens, by chemical bonding or another form of chemical interaction. The ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces of the present 25 disclosure can be ophthalmically acceptably wettable without the presence of a wetting agent (e.g., a polymeric material or a non-polymeric material) bound to at least the lens surface. While it is possible to bind one or more wetting agents to the present lenses, it is not necessary to do so in order to obtain a silicone hydrogel contact lens having ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces when fully hydrated. Thus, in one example, the lenses of the present 30 disclosure can comprise wetting agents, such as, for example, hydrophilic polymers and including polyvinyl pyrrolidone, bound to a surface of the lens. Alternatively, in another 48 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 example, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the present disclosure can be free of a wetting agent bound to the lens surface. [001171 Another method of increasing lens wettability is to physically entrap a wetting agent within the lens body or contact lens, such as by introducing the wetting agent into the 5 lens body when the lens body is swollen, and then returning the lens body to a less swollen state, thereby entrapping a portion of a wetting agent within the lens body. The wetting agent can be permanently trapped within the lens body, or can be released from the lens over time, such as during wear. The ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces of the present disclosure can be ophthalmically acceptably wettable without the presence of a wetting agent 10 (e.g., a polymeric material or a non-polymeric material) physically entrapped in the lens body following formation of the polymeric lens body. While it is possible to physically entrap one or more wetting agents in the present lenses, it is not necessary to do so in order to obtain a silicone hydrogel contact lens having ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces when fully hydrated. Thus, in one example, the lenses of the present disclosure can comprise wetting 15 agents, such as, for example, hydrophilic polymers and including polyvinyl pyrrolidone, entrapped within the lenses. Alternatively, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the present disclosure can be free of a wetting agent physically entrapped within the lens. As used herein, physically entrapped refers to immobilizing a wetting agent, or other ingredient, in the polymeric matrix of the lens with little or no chemical bonding or chemical interaction being 20 present between the wetting agent and or other ingredient and the polymeric matrix. This is in contrast to ingredients that are chemically bound to the polymeric matrix, such as by ionic bonds, covalent bonds, van der Waals forces, and the like. [001181 Another approach commonly used in the art to increase the wettability of silicone hydrogel contact lenses includes adding one or more wetting agents to the polymerizable 25 composition. In one example, the wetting agent can be a polymeric wetting agent. However, the contact lenses of the present disclosure can have ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces when the polymerizable composition used to form the polymeric lens body is free of a wetting agent. While it is possible to include one or more wetting agents in the present polymerizable compositions to increase the wettability of the silicone hydrogel contact lenses 30 of the present disclosure, it is not necessary to do so in order to obtain a silicone hydrogel contact lens having ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces. In other words, in one 49 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 example, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the present disclosure can be formed from polymerizable compositions free of wetting agents. Alternatively, in another example, the polymerizable compositions of the present invention can further comprise a wetting agent. [001191 In one example, the wetting agent can be an internal wetting agent. The internal 5 wetting agent can be bound within at least a portion of the polymeric matrix of the lens. For example, the internal wetting agent can be bound within at least a portion of the polymeric matrix of the lens by chemical bonding or another form of chemical interaction. In some cases, the wetting agent may be bound to the lens surface as well. The internal wetting agent can comprise a polymeric material or a non-polymeric material. While it is possible to bind one or 10 more internal wetting agents within the polymeric matrix of the present lenses, it is not necessary to do so in order to obtain a silicone hydrogel contact lens having ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces when fully hydrated. Thus, in one example, the lenses of the present disclosure can comprise internal wetting agents bound to at least a portion of the polymeric matrix of the lens. Alternatively, in another example, the silicone hydrogel contact 15 lenses of the present disclosure can be free of an internal wetting agent bound to at least a portion of the polymeric matrix of the lens. 100120] In another example, the wetting agent can be an internal polymeric wetting agent. The internal polymeric wetting agent can be present in the polymeric lens body as part of an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) or a semi-IPN. An interpenetrating polymer network 20 is formed by at least two polymers, each of which is cross-linked to itself, but none of which are cross-linked to each other. Similarly, a semi-IPN is formed by at least two polymers, at least one of which is cross-linked to itself but not to the other polymer, and the other of which is not cross-linked either to itself or the other polymer. In one example of the present disclosure, the contact lens can have ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces when 25 the polymeric lens body is free of an internal polymeric wetting agent present in the lens body as an IPN or a semi-IPN. Alternatively, the contact lens can comprise an internal polymeric wetting agent present in the lens body as an IPN or a semi-IPN. [001211 In yet another example, the wetting agent can be a linking compound present in the polymerizable composition used to form the lens body, or a linking agent physically 30 entrapped within the polymeric lens body after the lens body has been formed. When the wetting agent is a linking compound, after polymerization of the lens body or entrapment of 50 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 the linking agent in the polymeric lens body, the linking compound can subsequently link a second wetting agent to the lens body when the lens body is contacted by the wetting agent. The linking can occur as part of the manufacturing process, for example as a washing process, or can take place when the lens body is contacted by a packaging solution. The linking can 5 take the form of an ionic bond, or a covalent bond, or a form of van der Waals attraction. The linking agent can comprise a boronic acid moiety or group such that a polymerized boronic acid moiety or group is present in the polymeric lens body, or such that a boronic acid moiety or group is physically entrapped in the polymeric lens body. For example, when the linking agent comprises a form of boronic acid, the second wetting agent can comprise a form of 1o poly(vinyl alcohol) which becomes bound to the form of boronic acid. Optionally, silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the present disclosure can be understood to be free of linking agents. In one example, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses can be free of boronic acid moieties or groups, including polymerized boronic acid moieties or groups, that is, specifically, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses can be formed from a polymerizable 15 composition free of a form of boronic acid such as, for example, a polymerizable form of boronic acid including vinyl phenyl boronic acid (VPB), can be formed of a polymer free of units derived from a polymerizable form of boronic acid such as vinyl phenyl boronic acid (VPB), and the polymeric lens body and the silicone hydrogel contact lenses can be free of a form of boronic acid, including polymeric or non-polymeric form of boronic acid, physically 20 entrapped therein. Alternatively, the polymerizable composition, or the polymeric lens body, or the silicone hydrogel contact lens, or any combination thereof, can comprise at least one linking agent. [001221 In addition to including wetting agents in the polymerizable composition and modifying the lens surfaces, washing polymeric lens bodies in volatile organic solvents or 25 aqueous solutions of volatile organic solvent has been used to increase the wettability of lens surfaces. While it is possible to wash the present polymeric lens bodies in a volatile organic solvent or an aqueous solution of a volatile organic solvent, in accordance with the present disclosure, it is not necessary to do so in order to obtain a silicone hydrogel contact lens having ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces when fully hydrated. In other words, 30 in one example, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the present invention have not been exposed to a volatile organic solvent, including a solution of a volatile organic solvent, as part 51 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 of a manufacturing process. In one example, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the present invention can be formed from a polymerizable composition free of a wetting agent, or the polymeric lens body and/or hydrated contact lens can be free of a wetting agent, or free of surface treatment, or free of a surface modification, or was not exposed to a volatile organic 5 solvent during the manufacturing process, or any combination thereof. Instead, for example, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses can be washed in a washing liquid free of a volatile organic solvent, such as, for example, water or an aqueous solution free of a volatile organic solvent, including a liquid free of a volatile lower alcohol. [00123] The use of volatile organic solvents to extract lens bodies contributes 10 significantly to production costs, due to factors such as the cost of the organic solvents, the cost of disposal of the solvents, the need to employ explosion-proof production equipment, the need to remove the solvents from the lenses prior to packaging, and the like. However, development of polymerizable compositions capable of consistently producing contact lenses with ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces when extracted in aqueous liquids free 15 of volatile organic solvents can be challenging. For example, it is common to find non-wetting regions present on the lens surfaces of contact lenses which have been extracted in aqueous liquids free of volatile organic solvents. [001241 As previously discussed, in one example of the present disclosure, the contact lenses are contact lenses which have not been exposed to a volatile organic solvent, such as a 20 lower alcohol, during their manufacture. In other words, the washing, extraction and hydration liquid used for such lenses, as well as all liquids used during wet demolding, or wet delensing, or washing, or any other manufacturing step, are all free of volatile organic solvents. In one example, the polymerizable composition used to form these lenses which are not contacted by a volatile organic solvent can comprise a hydrophilic vinyl-containing monomer or monomer 25 component, such as, for example, a hydrophilic vinyl ether-containing monomer. The vinyl containing hydrophilic monomer or monomer component can include, for example, VMA. The vinyl ether-containing monomers can include, for example, BVE, or EGVE, or DEGVE, or any combination thereof. In one particular example, the vinyl ether-containing monomer can be a vinyl ether-containing monomer which is more hydrophilic than BVE, such as, for 30 example, DEGVE. In another example, the hydrophilic monomer component of the polymerizable composition can be a mixture of a first hydrophilic monomer which is a vinyl 52 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 containing monomer but which is not a vinyl ether-containing monomer, and a second hydrophilic monomer which is a vinyl ether-containing monomer. Such mixtures include, for example, mixtures of VMA and one or more vinyl ethers such as, for example, BVE, or DEGVE, or EGVE, or any combination thereof. 5 [001251 When present, the hydrophilic vinyl ether-containing monomer or monomer component can be present in the polymerizable composition in an amount from about 1 to about 15 unit parts, or from about 3 to about 10 unit parts. When present as a mixture with a hydrophilic vinyl-containing monomer which is not a vinyl ether, the portion of the hydrophilic vinyl-containing monomer or monomer component which is not a vinyl ether and 10 the hydrophilic vinyl ether-containing monomer or monomer component can be present in the polymerizable composition in a ratio of at least 3:1, or from about 3:1 to about 15:1, or of about 4:1 based on the ratio of the unit parts by weight of the hydrophilic vinyl-containing monomer or monomer component which is not a vinyl ether to the unit parts by weight of the hydrophilic vinyl ether-containing monomer or monomer component. 15 [001261 Another approach for producing contact lenses having ophthalmically acceptably wettable lens surfaces in accordance with the present disclosure, particularly lenses extracted in a liquid free of a volatile organic solvent and including lenses which are not contacted by a volatile organic solvent during manufacturing, can be to limit the amount of a vinyl-containing cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent component included in the polymerizable 20 composition. For example, a vinyl-containing cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent component can be present in the polymerizable composition in an amount from about 0.01 to about 0.80 unit parts, or from 0.01 to about 0.30 unit parts, or from about 0.05 to about 0.20 unit parts, or in an amount of about 0.1 unit parts. In one example, a vinyl-containing cross linking agent or cross-linking agent component can be present in the polymerizable 25 composition in an amount effective to produce a contact lens having improved wettability as compared to a contact lens produced from the same polymerizable composition but having an amount of the vinyl-containing cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent component greater than about 2.0 unit parts, or greater than 1.0 unit parts, or greater than about 0.8 unit parts, or greater than about 0.5 unit parts, or greater than about 0.3 unit parts. 30 [001271 While limiting the amount of the vinyl-containing cross-linking agent or cross linking agent component can improve wettability, in one example, the inclusion of a vinyl 53 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 containing cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent component in the polymerizable composition can improve the dimensional stability of the resulting contact lens formed from the polymerizable composition. Thus, in some polymerizable compositions, a vinyl-containing cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent component can be present in the polymerizable in an 5 amount effective to produce a contact lens having improved dimensional stability as compared to a contact lens produced from the same polymerizable composition but without the vinyl containing cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent component. [00128] Yet another approach for producing contact lenses having ophthalmically acceptably wettable surfaces in accordance with the present disclosure, particularly lenses 10 washed in a liquid free of a volatile organic solvent, can be to include an amount of a vinyl containing cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent component in the polymerizable composition based on the ratio of the unit parts by weight of the hydrophilic vinyl-containing monomer or monomer component present in the composition to the unit parts by weight of the vinyl-containing cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent component present in the 15 composition. For example, the total unit parts of the hydrophilic vinyl-containing monomer or monomer component and the total unit parts of the vinyl-containing cross-linking agent or cross-linking agent component can be present in the polymerizable composition in a ratio greater than about 125:1, or from about 150:1 to about 625:1, or from about 200:1 to about 600:1, or from about 250:1 to about 500:1, or from about 450:1 to about 500:1, based on the 20 ratio of the unit parts by weight of all the hydrophilic vinyl-containing monomers present in the polymerizable composition to the total unit parts by weight of all the vinyl-containing cross-linking agents present in the polymerizable composition. [001291 In one example, the contact lenses of the present disclosure are ophthalmically compatible silicone hydrogel contact lenses. Many different criteria can be evaluated to 25 determine whether or not a contact lens is ophthalmically compatible, as will be discussed later. In one example, ophthalmically acceptable contact lenses have ophthalmically acceptably wettable surfaces when fully hydrated. A silicone hydrogel contact lens having an ophthalmically acceptably wettable surfaces can be understood to refer to a silicone hydrogel contact lens that does not adversely affect the tear film of a lens wearer's eye to a degree that 30 results in the lens wearer experiencing or reporting discomfort associated with placing or wearing the silicone hydrogel contact lens on an eye. 54 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 [00130] An example of the disclosed polymerizable composition can be miscible when initially prepared, and can remain miscible over a period of time adequate for the commercial manufacture of contact lenses, such as, for example, for about 2 weeks, or about 1 week, or about 5 days. Typically, when polymerized and processed into contact lenses, miscible 5 polymerizable compositions result in contact lenses having ophthalmically acceptable clarities. [001311 Approaches commonly employed to increase the miscibility of siloxane monomers and hydrophilic monomers include adding organic diluents to the polymerizable composition to act as compatiblizers between the hydrophilic monomers and the siloxane monomers which typically are more hydrophobic, or using only siloxane monomers having 10 low molecular weights (e.g., molecular weights below 2500 daltons). In one example, the use of the first siloxane as described above makes it possible to both include both the high molecular weight second siloxane and a high level of an optional one or more hydrophilic monomers in the polymerizable compositions of the present disclosure. And while it is possible to include one or more organic diluents in the present polymerizable compositions 15 disclosed herein, it may not be necessary to do so in order to obtain a miscible polymerizable composition in accordance with the present disclosure. In other words, in one example, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the present disclosure are formed from polymerizable compositions which are free of an organic diluent. [00132] In one example, the silicone hydrogel contact lens is a silicone hydrogel contact 20 lens, comprising: a polymeric lens body that is the reaction product of a polymerizable composition, said polymerizable composition comprising (a) a first siloxane monomer represented by formula (1):

The silicone hydrogel contact lens, when fully hydrated, can have an energy loss from about 27% to about 40%. [001331 Various methods of measuring contact angles are known to those of ordinary skill 5 in the art, including the captive bubble method. The contact angle can be a static or dynamic contact angle. Silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the present invention can have captive bubble dynamic advancing contact angles of less than 120 degrees, such as, for example, less than 90 degrees when fully hydrated, less than 80 degrees when fully hydrated, less than 70 degrees when fully hydrated, or less than 65 degrees when fully hydrated, or less than 60 10 degrees when fully hydrated, or less than 50 degrees when fully hydrated. Silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the present invention can have captive bubble static contact angles of less than 70 degrees when fully hydrated, or less than 60 degrees when fully hydrated, or less than 55 degrees when fully hydrated, or less than 50 degrees when fully hydrated, or less than 45 degrees when fully hydrated. 15 [00134] In accordance with the present disclosure, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses can have, when fully hydrated, equilibrium water contents (EWC)s from about 30 to about 70%. For example, the contact lenses can have an EWC from about 45% to about 65%, or from about 50% to about 63%, or from about 50% to about 67%, or from about 55% to about 65% by weight when fully hydrated. Methods of determining EWC are known to those of ordinary 20 skill in the art, and can be based on weight loss from a lens during a drying process. [001351 The present contact lenses can have an oxygen permeability (or Dk) of at least 55 barrers (Dk > 55 barrers), or an oxygen permeability of at least 60 barrers (Dk > 60 barrers), or an oxygen permeability of at least 65 barrers (Dk > 65 barrers). The lenses can have an oxygen permeability from about 55 barrers to about 135 barrers, or from about 60 barrers to about 120 25 barrers, or from about 65 barrers to about 90 barrers, or from about 50 barrers to about 75 barrers. Various methods of determining oxygen permeability are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. [001361 The present contact lenses can have an oxygen permeability of at least 55 barrers (Dk > 55 barrers), or an EWC from about 30% to about 70%, or a captive bubble dynamic 30 advancing contact angle less than 70 degrees, or a captive bubble static contact angle less than 55 degrees, or any combination thereof. In one example, the contact lenses can have an 56 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 oxygen permeability of at least 60 barrers (Dk '> 60 barrers), or an EWC from about 35% to about 65%, or a captive bubble dynamic advancing contact angle less than 70 degrees, or a captive bubble static contact angle less than 55 degrees, or any combination thereof. In another example, the present contact lenses can have an oxygen permeability of at least 65 5 barrers, or an EWC from about 45% to about 65%, or a captive bubble dynamic advancing contact angle less than 70 degrees, or a captive bubble static contact angle less than 55 degrees, or any combination thereof. [001371 In one example, the present contact lenses have an oxygen permeability of at least 55 barrers, an EWC from about 30% to about 70%, a captive bubble dynamic advancing 10 contact angle less than 70 degrees, and a captive bubble static contact angle less than 55 degrees. [001381 The present contact lenses, when fully hydrated, can have an ionoflux less than about 8.0 x 10- 3 mm 2 /min, or less than about 7.0 x 10-3 mm 2 /min, or less than about 5.0 x 10-3 mm 2 /min. Various methods of determining ionoflux are conventional and are known to those 15 of ordinary skill in the art. [001391 The silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the present disclosure can have, when fully hydrated, an average tensile modulus about 0.20 MPa to about 0.90 MPa. For example, the average modulus can be from about 0.30 MPa to about 0.80 MPa, or from about 0.40 MPa to about 0.75 MPa, or from about 0.50 MPa to about 0.70 MPa. 20 1001401 As used herein, the modulus of a contact lens or lens body is understood to refer to the tensile modulus, also known as Young's modulus. It is a measure of the stiffness of an elastic material. The tensile modulus can be measured using a method in accordance with ANSI Z80.20 standard. In one example, the tensile modulus can be measured using an Instron Model 3342 or Model 3343 mechanical testing system. 25 [001411 In one example, the present contact lenses can have a wet extractable component. The wet extractable component is determined based on the weight lost during methanol extraction of contact lenses which have been fully hydrated and sterilized prior to drying and extraction testing. The wet extractable component can comprise unreacted or partially reacted polymerizable ingredients of the polymerizable composition. The wet extractable component 30 consists of organic solvent-extractable materials remaining in the lens body after the lens body has been fully processed to form a sterilized contact lens, for lenses formed from 57 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 polymerizable compositions comprising non-polymerizable ingredients. For lenses extracted during manufacturing in either an extraction liquid comprising a volatile organic solvent or an extraction liquid free of an organic solvent, in most cases, substantially all of the non polymerizable ingredients will have been removed from the lens body, and so the wet 5 extractable component may consist essentially of extractable components formed from reactive polymerizable ingredients of the polymerizable composition, i.e., unreacted polymerizable components and partially reacted polymerizable ingredients. In lenses made from a polymerizable composition free of a diluent, the wet extractable component can be present in the contact lens in an amount from about 1% wt/wt to about 15% wt/wt, or from 10 about 2% wt/wt to about 10% wt/wt, or from about 3% wt/wt to about 8% wt/wt based on the dry weight of the lens body prior to extraction testing. In lenses made from a polymerizable composition comprising a diluent, the wet extractable component may consist of a portion of the diluent as well as unreacted and partially reacted polymerizable ingredients, and can be present in the contact lens in an amount from about 1% wt/wt to about 20% wt/wt, or from 15 about 2% wt/wt to about 15% wt/wt of the lens, or from about 3% wt/wt to about 10% wt/wt based on the dry weight of the lens body prior to extraction testing. [001421 In one example, the present contact lenses have a dry extractable component. The dry extractable component is determined based on the weight lost during extraction in methanol of polymeric lens bodies which have not been washed, extracted (as part of a 20 manufacturing process), hydrated or sterilized prior to the drying and extraction testing. The dry extractable component can comprise unreacted or partially reacted polymerizable ingredients of the polymerizable composition. When optional non-polymerizable ingredients such as diluents and the like are present in the polymerizable composition, the dry extractable component may further comprise the non-polymerizable ingredients. 25 [00143] In lenses made from a polymerizable composition free of a diluent, the dry extractable component of the lens consists primarily of dry extractable components contributed by polymerizable ingredients of the polymerizable composition (i.e., unreacted or partially reacted polymerizable ingredients), and may also include dry extractable materials contributed by optional non-polymerizable components present in the polymerizable 30 composition in small amounts (e.g., less than 3% wt/wt), such as, for example, tinting agents, oxygen scavengers, and the like. In lenses made from a polymerizable composition free of a 58 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 diluent, the dry extractable component can be present in the polymeric lens body in an amount from about 1% wt/wt to about 30% wt/wt of the lens body, or from about 2% wt/wt to about 25% wt/wt, or from about 3% wt/wt to about 20% wt/wt, or from about 4% wt/wt to about 15% wt/wt, or from 2% wt/wt to less than 10% wt/wt based on the dry weight of the lens body 5 prior to extraction testing. [001441 In lenses made from a polymerizable composition comprising a large amount (e.g., more than 3% wt/wt) of an optional non-polymerizable ingredient such as a diluent, the dry extractable component consists of extractable materials contributed by reactive ingredients as well as extractable components contributed by non-polymerizable ingredients of the 1o polymerizable composition. The total amount of dry extractable components contributed by reactive ingredients and non-polymerizable ingredients present in the contact lens can consist of an amount from about 1% wt/wt to about 75% wt/wt, or from about 2% wt/wt to about 50% wt/wt of the lens, or from about 3% wt/wt to about 40% wt/wt, or from about 4% wt/wt to about 20% wt/wt, or from about 5% to about 10% based on the dry weight of the polymeric 15 lens body prior to extraction testing. The total amount of dry extractable components contributed by polymerizable ingredieiits (i.e., unreacted or partially reacted polymerizable ingredients) can be an amount from about 1% wt/wt to about 30% wt/wt of the lens body, or from about 2% wt/wt to about 25% wt/wt, or from about 3% wt/wt to about 20% wt/wt, or from about 4% wt/wt to about 15% wt/wt, or from 2% wt/wt to less than 10% wt/wt based on 20 the dry weight of the lens body prior to extraction testing. [001451 Certain specific examples of silicone hydrogel contact lenses will now be described, in accordance with the present teachings. [001461 As one example (example A), a silicone hydrogel contact lens comprises a polymeric lens body that is the reaction product of a polymerizable composition comprising a 25 first siloxane monomer represented by formula (1):

3 (1) wherein m of formula (1) represents one integer from 3 to 10, n of formula (1) represents one integer from I to 10, R' is an alkyl group having from I to 4 carbon atoms, and each R 2 of formula (1) is independently either a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; a second siloxane 59 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 monomer which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons; and an optional second component comprising a third siloxane monomer or at least one cross-linking agent or at least one hydrophilic monomer or at least one hydrophobic monomer or any combination thereof; 5 wherein the contact lens has an energy loss from about 30% to about 40% when fully hydrated. In one example, when the polymerizable composition comprises the third siloxane monomer, the third siloxane monomer can be a third siloxane monomer having more than one functional group and that has a number average molecular weight of at least 3,000 daltons.

Thus, the present disclosure also relates to a batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses. [001701 As used herein, a batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses refers to a group of 25 two or more silicone hydrogel contact lenses, and frequently, a batch refers to at least 10, or at least 100, or at least 1,000 silicone hydrogel contact lenses.

In one example, when initially tested shortly after manufacturing and then tested again at a later time point, a batch of lenses can exhibit a change in its average physical dimensions. As batches of lenses in accordance with the present disclosure are dimensionally 25 stable, they can exhibit an acceptable level of change in their average physical dimensions. As used herein, dimensional stability variance is understood to refer to a variance in a value of a physical dimension between a value of the physical dimension determined when the batch of lenses is initially tested shortly after its manufacture, and the value of the physical dimension 67 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 determined when the batch of lenses is tested again at a later time point. The later time point can be, for example, from at least 2 weeks after the initial time point, to up to 7 years after the initial time point. The silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the batch have an average dimensional stability variance of less than plus or minus three percent (+3.0%) based on 5 averaging the lens diameter measurements of a representative number of lenses from the batch, such as, for example, 20 lenses from the batch. For a batch of lenses, an average dimensional stability variance of less than plus or minus three percent (+3.0%), where the average dimensional stability variance is the variance in a value of a physical dimension when measured at an initial time point within one day of a manufacturing date of the batch of lenses, 10 and at a second time point, where the second time point is from two weeks to seven years after the initial time point when the batch is stored at room temperature, or, when the batch is stored at a higher temperature (i.e., under accelerated shelf life testing conditions), the second time point is a time point representative of storage of the batch from two weeks to seven years at room temperature, is considered to be a dimensionally stable batch. In one example, 15 accelerated shelf life testing conditions which are especially useful in determining average dimensional stability variance are for 4 weeks at 70 degrees C, although other periods of time and other temperatures can be used. The average dimensional stability variance is determined by averaging the individual dimensional stability variances for each of the representative lenses using the actual diameters of representative lenses measured initially (Diameter original) 2o and the actual diameters of representative lenses measured following (Diameter Final) storage at room temperature or under accelerated. shelf life conditions. The representative lenses measured initially and the representative lenses measured following storage can be the same lenses or can be different lenses. As used herein, the average dimensional stability variance is represented as a percent (%). The individual dimensional stability variances are determined 25 using the following equation (A): ((Diameter Final - Diameter original) / Diameter original) X 100 (A). [00173] On average, the diameters of the silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the batch vary by less than three percent in either direction of a target value (± 3.0%). As one example, if a contact lens has a target diameter (chord diameter) of 14.20 mm, the present batch of 30 silicone hydrogel contact lenses will have an average diameter (average of the population in the batch) from 13.77 mm to 14.63 mm. In one example, the dimensional stability variance is 68 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 less than plus or minus two percent (± 2.0%). As one example, if a contact lens has a target diameter (chord diameter) of 14.20 mm, the present batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses will have an average diameter (average of the population in the batch) from 13.92 mm to 14.48 mm. Preferably, the average diameter of the batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses 5 does not vary by more than plus or minus 0.20 mm from the target diameter, which is commonly from 13.00 mm to 15.00 mm. [001741 In accelerated shelf life studies, the average dimensional stability variance can be determined for contact lenses that were stored for a period of time at an elevated temperature, such as above 40 degrees C, including, for example, 50 degrees C, or 55 degrees C, or 65 10 degrees C, or 70 degrees C, or 80 degrees C, or 95 degrees C, and the like. Or, the average dimensional stability can be determined for contact lenses that were stored for a period of time at room temperature (e.g., about 20-25 degrees C). [00175] For accelerated shelf life studies, the following formula can be used to determine the number of months of storage at a particular temperature that are equivalent to storage for a 15 desired length of time at room temperature: Desired shelf life = [N x 2 Y] + n (B) where N = number of months of storage under accelerated conditions 2 = acceleration factor 20 y = (test temperature - 25 *C)/10 "C n = age of lenses (in months) at start of the study Based on this equation, the following storage times have been calculated: 6 months of storage at 35 degrees C is equivalent to 1 year aging at 25 degrees C, 3 months of storage at 45 degrees C is equivalent to 1 year of aging at 25 degrees C, 3 months of storage at 55 degrees C 25 is equivalent to 2 years of aging at 25 degrees C, and 3 months of storage at 65 degrees C is equivalent to 4 years of aging at 25 degrees C.

In addition 5 to the first siloxane monomer of formula (1), the polymerizable composition also comprises a second siloxane monomer, or at least one cross-linking agent, or both. The ingredients of the polymerizable composition can be present in amounts such that the resulting silicone hydrogel contact lens has, when fully hydrated, an equilibrium water content (EWC) from about 30% wt/wt to about 70% wt/wt, such as, for example, from about 45% wt/wt to about 65% wt/wt or 1o from about 50% wt/wt to about 67% wt/wt, or from about 50% to about 63%, or from about 55% wt/wt to about 65% wt/wt. 1001771 The method can also comprise a step of polymerizing the polymerizable composition to form a polymeric lens body. The step of polymerizing the polymerizable composition can be conducted in a contact lens mold assembly. The polymerizable 15 composition can be cast molded between molds formed of a thermoplastic polymer. The thermoplastic polymer used to form the molding surfaces of the mold can comprise a polar polymer, or can comprise a non-polar polymer. Alternatively, the polymerizable composition can be formed into a lens via various methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art, such as spin casting, injection molding, forming a polymerized rod that is subsequently lathed to 20 form a lens body, etc. [00178] The method can also comprise contacting the polymeric lens body with a washing liquid to remove extractable material, such as unreacted monomers, uncross-linked materials that are otherwise not physically immobilized in the polymeric lens body, diluents, and the like. The washing liquid can be a liquid free of a volatile organic solvent, or can comprise a 25 volatile organic solvent (e.g., can be a volatile organic solvent or a solution of a volatile organic solvent). 100179] In accordance with the present disclosure, the polymeric lens body can be packaged along with a contact lens packaging solution in a contact lens package, such as a blister pack or glass vial. Following packaging, the package can be sealed and the polymeric 70 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 lens body and the contact lens packaging solution can be sterilized, for example, by autoclaving the sealed package, to produce a silicone hydrogel contact lens product. [001801 The present method can further comprise repeating the steps to produce a plurality of the silicone hydrogel contact lenses. 5 [001811 In any of the present methods, a particular first siloxane monomer can be provided in the polymerizable composition, such as a monomer represented by formula (1) wherein m of formula (1) is 4, n of formula (1) is 1, R' of formula (1) is a butyl group, and each R 2 of formula (1) is independently either a hydrogen atom or a methyl group.

As one example, the siloxane monomer can be represented by formula (2), wherein m of formula (2) is 0, n of formula (2) is one integer from 5 to 15, a is one integer 20 from 65 to 90, b is one integer from 1 to 10, R 1 of formula (2) is a methyl group, and R 2 of formula (2) is either a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. [001831 In the present methods, the step of contacting the polymeric lens body with a washing liquid can be understood to be an extraction step because extractable materials can be removed from the polymeric lens body during the process. When the washing liquid comprises 25 water or an aqueous solution free of a volatile organic solvent, the contacting step can be understood to be both an extraction step and a hydration step. In another example of the method, the contacting step can comprise contacting the polymeric lens body with a washing liquid comprising a volatile organic solvent, such as a liquid containing a primary alcohol, 71 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 such as methanol, ethanol, n-propyl alcohol, and the like. The washing liquid can contain a secondary alcohol, such as isopropyl alcohol, and the like. Using a washing liquid containing one or more volatile organic solvents can be helpful in removing hydrophobic materials from the polymeric lens body, and thus may increase wettability of the resulting silicone hydrogel 5 contact lens. Such methods may be understood to be volatile organic solvent-based extraction steps. In other methods, the contacting step comprises contacting the polymeric lens body with an aqueous washing liquid that is.free of a volatile organic solvent. Such methods may be understood to be entirely aqueous washing steps, as no volatile organic solvents are included in the washing liquid. Water-based washing liquid that can be used in such methods 10 include water, such as deionized water, saline solutions, buffered solutions, or aqueous solutions containing surfactants or other non-volatile ingredients that can improve the removal of hydrophobic components from the polymeric contact lens bodies, or can reduce distortion of the polymeric contact lens bodies, compared to the use of deionized water alone. 100184] After washing, the contact lenses can be placed in packages, such as plastic is blister packs, with a packaging solution, such as a buffered saline solution, which may or may not contain surfactants, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-microbial agents, contact lens wetting agents, and the like, and can be sealed and sterilized. The packaging solution used to package the silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the present disclosure can comprise a wetting agent to increase wettability of the lens surfaces. However, it will be understood that the lens surfaces 20 of the silicone hydrogel contact lenses -of the present disclosure have ophthalmically acceptable wettable surfaces prior to contact with a packaging solution comprising a wetting agent, and the use of a wetting agent in the packaging solution is only to increase the wettability of the already ophthalmically acceptable wettable surfaces, and thus is not needed to provide the contact lens with an ophthalmically acceptable wettable surface. 25 [001851 In another example, new polymerizable compositions are provided, including each and every polymerizable composition described herein in reference to the silicone hydrogel contact lenses and methods. The polymerizable compositions can be diluent- or solvent-free in that they do not contain an organic solvent, such as alcohols and the like, which can help reduce phase separation of the polymerizable composition. However, such diluent 30 free polymerizable compositions can still contain one or more chain transfer agents, such as 72 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 allyloxy ethanol. However, if desired, the polymerizable composition can include a diluent, which can be present in an amount from 1 to 20 unit parts. [001861 As described herein, the present silicone hydrogel contact lenses which comprise polymeric lens bodies that comprise units derived from a first siloxane monomer represented 5 by formula (1), a second siloxane monomer which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons. In one example, the second siloxane monomer can be a second siloxane monomer represented by formula (2), and the silicone hydrogel lenses, when fully hydrated, have energy losses from about 25% to about 45%, or from about 27% to about 40%, or from about 30% to about 37%. 10 Thus, the present disclosure also relates to a batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses. [001871 As used herein, a batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses refers to a group of two or more silicone hydrogel contact lenses, and frequently, a batch refers to at least 10, or at least 100, or at least 1,000 silicone hydrogel contact lenses. In accordance with the present disclosure, a batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses comprises a plurality of any of the 15 silicone hydrogel contact lenses described herein. [001881 In one example, the batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses comprises a plurality of the contact lenses in accordance with the present disclosure, wherein the batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses, when fully hydrated, has an average energy loss from about 25% to about 45%, or from about 27% to about 40%, or from about 30% to about 37%. 20 [001891 In another example, the batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses comprises a plurality of the contact lenses in accordance with the present disclosure, wherein the batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses, when fully hydrated, has an average equilibrium water content (EWC) from 30% to 70%, or an average oxygen permeability of at least 55 barrers, or an average tensile modulus from about 0.2 MPa to about 0.9 MPa, or an average captive 25 bubble dynamic advancing contact angle less than 70 degrees, or an average captive bubble static contact angle less than 55 degrees, or any combination thereof, based on averages of values determined for at least 20 individual lenses of the batch. [001901 In yet another example, the contact lenses of the batch can have an average dimensional stability variance based on averaging the lens diameter measurements of a 30 representative number of lenses from the batch, such as, for example, 20 lenses from the batch. For a batch of lenses, an average dimensional stability variance of less than plus or minus 73 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 three percent (± 3.0%) over a time period from two weeks to seven years at when stored at room temperature, or, when stored under accelerated shelf life testing conditions, for a period of time and temperature equivalent to storage from two weeks to seven years at room temperature, is considered to be a dimensionally stable batch. In one example, accelerated 5 shelf life testing conditions which are especially useful in determining average dimensional stability variance are for 4 weeks at 70 degrees C, although other periods of time and temperature can be used. The average dimensional stability variance is determined by averaging the individual dimensional stability variances for each of the representative lenses using the actual diameters of the representative lenses before (Diameter original) and following 10 (Diameter Final) storage at room temperature or under accelerated shelf life conditions. As used herein, the average dimensional stability variance is represented as a percent (%). The individual dimensional stability variances are determined using the following equation (A): ((Diameter Final - Diameter original) / Diameter original) X 100 (A). [00191] On average, the diameters of the silicone hydrogel contact lenses of the batch 15 vary by less than three percent in either direction of a target value (t 3.0%). As one example, if a contact lens has a target diameter (chord diameter) of 14.20 mm, the present batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses will have an average diameter (average of the population in the batch) from 13.77 mm to 14.63 mm. The dimensional stability variance can be less than plus or minus two percent (± 2.0%). As one example, if a contact lens has a target diameter 20 (chord diameter) of 14.20 mm, the present batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses will have an average diameter (average of the population in the batch) from 13.92 mm to 14.48 mm. Preferably, the average diameter of the batch of silicone hydrogel contact lenses does not vary by more than plus or minus 0.20 mm from the target diameter, which is commonly from 13.00 mm to 15.00 mm. 25 [00192] In accelerated shelf life studies, the average dimensional stability variance can be determined for contact lenses that were stored for a period of time at an elevated temperature, such as above 40 degrees C, including, for example, 50 degrees C, or 55 degrees C, or 65 degrees C, or 70 degrees C, or 80 degrees C, or 95 degrees C, and the like. Or, the average dimensional stability can be determined for contact lenses that were stored for a period of time 30 at room temperature (e.g., about 20-25 degrees C). 74 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 1001931 For accelerated shelf life studies, the following formula can be used to determine the number of months of storage at a particular temperature that are equivalent to storage of the desired length of time at room temperature by the following formula (C): Desired shelf life = [N x 2 Y] + n (C) 5 where N = number of months of storage under accelerated conditions 2Y= acceleration factor y = (test temperature - 25 C)/10 "C n = age of lenses (in months) at start of the study 10 Based on this equation, the following storage times have been calculated: 6 months of storage at 35 degrees C is equivalent to 1 year aging at 25 degrees C, 3 months of storage at 45 degrees C is equivalent to 1 year of aging at 25 degrees C, 3 months of storage at 55 degrees C is equivalent to 2 years of aging at 25 degrees C, and 3 months of storage at 65 degrees C is equivalent to 4 years of aging at 25 degrees C. 15 1001941 The present disclosure also provides methods of manufacturing silicone hydrogel contact lenses.

[002061 In the present methods, the step of contacting the polymeric lens body with a washing liquid can be understood to be an extraction step because extractable materials are removed from the polymeric lens body. In another example of the method, the contacting step 15 comprises contacting the polymeric lens body with a washing liquid comprising a volatile organic solvent, such as a liquid containing a primary alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol, n propyl alcohol, and the like. The washing liquid can contain a secondary alcohol, such as isopropyl alcohol, and the like. Using a washing liquid containing one or more volatile organic solvents can be helpful in removing hydrophobic materials from the polymeric lens 20 body. Such extraction steps can be understood to be alcohol-based extraction steps. In another example of the method, the contacting step can comprise contacting the polymeric lens body with an aqueous washing liquid that is free of a volatile organic solvent. Such extraction steps can be understood to be aqueous extractions steps. Aqueous washing liquids that can be used in such methods include, for example, water, such as deionized water, saline 25 solutions, buffered solutions, or aqueous solutions containing surfactants or other non-volatile ingredients that can improve the removal of hydrophobic components from the polymeric contact lens bodies, or can reduce distortion of the polymeric contact lens bodies, compared to the use of deionized water alone. In one example, when washed using an aqueous washing 80 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 liquid, the surfaces of the lens bodies of the present disclosure can have ophthalmically acceptable wettable surfaces. [002071 After washing, the contact lenses can be placed in packages, such as plastic blister packs, with a packaging solution, such as a buffered saline solution, which may or may 5 not contain surfactants, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-microbial agents, contact lens wetting agents, and the like, and can be sealed and sterilized. EXAMPLES [002081 The following Examples 1-28 illustrate certain aspects and advantages of the 1o present invention, which should be understood not to be limited thereby. [00209] As can be readily determined by a review of the Examples below, all of the Example formulations are free of an organic diluent. Also, all of the Example formulations are free of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA). Additionally, all of the Example formulations below are free of a polymeric wetting agent. Furthermore, all of the Example formulations comprise 15 at least one hydrophilic amide monomer having one N-vinyl group. A majority of the Example formulations comprise a second siloxane which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons.

The mixture was filtered through a 0.2-5.0 micron syringe filter into a bottle. Mixtures were stored for up to about 2 weeks. The mixtures are understood to be polymerizable silicone hydrogel contact lens precursor compositions, or as used herein, polymerizable compositions. In Examples 1-28, the listed amounts of ingredients are given as 30 unit parts of the polymerizable composition by weight. 82 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 100212] A volume of the polymerizable composition was cast molded by placing the composition in contact with a lens defining surface of a female mold member. In all of the following Examples 1-28, the molding surface of the female mold member was formed of a non-polar resin, specifically polypropylene. A male mold member was placed in contact with 5 the female mold member to form a contact lens mold assembly comprising a contact lens shaped cavity containing the polymerizable composition. In the following Examples 1-28, the molding surface of the male mold member was formed of a non-polar resin, specifically polypropylene. [002131 Contact lens mold assemblies were placed in a nitrogen flushed oven to allow the io polymerizable composition to thermally cure. For all of Examples 1-28, the contact lens mold assemblies were exposed to temperatures of at least about 550 C for about 2 hours. Examples of curing profiles which can be used to cure silicone hydrogel contact lenses described herein include exposing the contact lens mold assemblies to temperatures of 550 C for 40 minutes, 800 C for 40 minutes, and 100' C for 40 minutes. Other contact lenses can be made with the is same curing profile, but instead of the first temperature being at 550 C, it can be at 65' C. [00214] After polymerizing the polymerizable composition to form a polymeric lens body contained in a mold assembly, the contact lens mold assemblies were demolded to separate the male and female mold members. The polymeric lens body remained adhered to the male mold or the female mold. A dry demolding process where the mold assembly is not contacted with 20 a liquid medium can be used, or a wet demolding process where the mold assembly is contacted with a liquid medium such as, for example, water or an aqueous solution, can be used. A mechanical dry demolding process can involve applying mechanical force to a portion of one or both of the mold members in order to separate the mold members. In all of the following Examples 1-28, a dry demolding process was used. 25 100215] The polymeric lens body was then delensed from the male mold or female mold to produce a delensed polymeric lens body. In one example of a delensing method, the polymeric lens body can be delensed from the male mold member using a dry delensing process, such as by manually peeling the lens from the male mold member or by compressing the male mold member and directing a gas toward the male mold member and the polymeric 30 lens body, and lifting the dry polymeric lens body with a vacuum device from the male mold member, which is discarded. In other methods, the polymeric lens body can be delensed using 83 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 a wet delensing process by contacting the dry polymeric lens body with a liquid releasing medium, such as water or an aqueous solution. For example, a male mold member with the attached polymeric lens body can be dipped into a receptacle containing a liquid until the polymeric lens body separates from the male mold member. Or, a volume of liquid releasing 5 medium can be added to the female mold to soak the polymeric lens body in the liquid and to separate the lens body from the female mold member. In the following Examples 1-28, a dry delensing process was used. Following separation, the lens body can be lifted from the mold member manually using tweezers or using a vacuum device and placed into a tray. 1002161 The delensed lens product was then washed to remove extractable materials from 1o the polymeric lens body, and hydrated. Extractable materials included polymerizable components such as, for example, monomers, or cross-linking agents, or any optional polymerizable ingredients such as tints or UV blockers, or combinations thereof, present in the polymerizable composition which remain present in the polymeric lens body in an unreacted form, in a partially reacted form, or in an uncross-linked form, or any combination thereof, 15 following polymerization of the lens body and prior to extraction of the lens body. Extractable materials may have also included any non-polymerizable ingredients present in the polymerizable composition, for example, any optional non-polymerizable tinting agents, or UV blockers, or diluents, or chain transfer agent, or any combination thereof, remaining present in the polymeric lens body following polymerization of the polymeric lens body but 20 prior to extraction of the polymeric lens body. 100217] In another method, such as a method involving delensing by compression of the male mold member and directing gas flow toward the male mold member, the delensed polymerized contact lens bodies can be placed in cavities of lens carriers or trays where the delensed polymeric lens bodies can then be contacted with one or more volumes of an 25 extraction liquid, such as an aqueous extraction liquid free of a volatile organic solvent, for example deionized water or an aqueous solution of a surfactant such as Tween 80, or an organic solvent-based extraction liquid such as ethanol, or an aqueous solution of a volatile organic solvent such as ethanol. [002181 In other methods, such as those involving wet delensing by contacting the mold 30 and lens with a liquid releasing medium, the delensed polymerized contact lens bodies can be washed to remove extractable components from the lens bodies using a washing liquid that is 84 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 free of a volatile organic solvent, such as a lower alcohol, for example, methanol, ethanol, or any combination thereof. For example, the delensed polymerized contact lens bodies can be washed to remove extractable components from the lens bodies by contacting the lens bodies with aqueous washing liquid free of a volatile organic solvent, such as, for example, deionized 5 water, or a surfactant solution, or a saline solution, or a buffer solution, or any combination thereof. The washing can take place in the final contact lens package, or can take place a in washing tray or a washing tank. [002191 In the following Examples 1-28, following the dry demolding and dry delensing steps, the dry delensed lens bodies were placed in cavities of trays, and the delensed polymeric 10 lens bodies were extracted and hydrated by contacting the polymeric lens bodies with one or more volumes of extraction liquids. The extraction and hydration liquid used in the extraction and hydration process consisted of either a) a combination of volatile organic solvent-based extraction liquids and volatile organic solvent-free hydration liquids, or b) volatile organic solvent-free extraction and hydration liquids, i.e., entirely aqueous-based extraction and 15 hydration liquids. Specifically, in Examples 1-5 below, the extraction and hydration process comprised at least two extraction steps in separate portions of ethanol, followed by at least one extraction step in a portion of a 50:50 wt/wt ethanol:water solution of Tween 80, followed by at least three extraction and hydration steps in separate portions of a solution of Tween 80 in deionized water, wherein each extraction or extraction and hydration step lasted from about 5 20 minutes to 3 hours. In Examples 6-25 below, the extraction and hydration process used comprised at least three extraction and hydration steps in separate portions of a solution of Tween 80 in deionized water, wherein the temperature of the Tween 80 solution of the portions ranged from room temperature to about 90 degrees C, and wherein each extraction and hydration step lasted from about 15 minutes to about 3 hours. 25 [002201 Washed, extracted and hydrated lenses were then placed individually in contact lens blister packages with a phosphate buffered saline packaging solution. The blister packages were sealed and sterilized by autoclaving. 1002211 Following sterilization, lens properties such as contact angle, including dynamic and static contact angle, oxygen permeability, ionoflux, modulus, elongation, tensile strength, 30 water content, and the like were determined, as described herein. 85 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 [002221 For the present contact lenses, contact angles including dynamic and static contact angles, can be determined using routine methods known to persons of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the advancing contact angle and receding contact angle of the contact lenses provided herein can be measured using a conventional drop shape method, such as the sessile 5 drop method or captive bubble method. [002231 In the following Examples 1-28, the advancing and receding contact angle of silicone hydrogel contact lenses was determined using a Kruss DSA 100 instrument (Kruss GmbH, Hamburg), and as described in D. A. Brandreth: "Dynamic contact angles and contact angle hysteresis", Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, vol. 62, 1977, pp. 205-212 and R. io Knapikowski, M. Kudra: Kontaktwinkelmessungen nach dem Wilhelmy-Prinzip-Ein statistischer Ansatz zur Fehierbeurteilung", Chem. Technik, vol. 45, 1993, pp. 179-185, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,436,481, all of which are incorporated by reference herein. [002241 As an example, the advancing contact angle and receding contact angle was be determined using a captive bubble method using phosphate buffered saline (PBS; pH=7.2). 15 The lens was flattened onto a quartz surface and rehydrated with PBS for at least 10 minutes before testing. An air bubble was placed onto a lens surface using an automated syringe system. The size of the air bubble was increased and decreased to obtain the receding angle (the plateau obtained when increasing the bubble size) and the advancing angle (the plateau obtained when decreasing the bubble size). 20 1002251 The modulus, elongation, and tensile strength values of the present lenses can be determined using routine methods known to persons of ordinary skill in the art, such as, for example, a test method in accordance with ANSI Z80.20. The modulus, elongation, and tensile strength values reported herein were determined by using an Instron Model 3342 or 3343 mechanical testing system (Instron Corporation, Norwood, MA, USA) and Bluehill Materials 25 Testing Software, using a custom built rectangular contact lens cutting die to prepare the rectangular sample strip. The modulus, elongation and tensile strength were determined inside a chamber having a relative humidity of least 70%. The lens to be tested was soaked in phosphate buffered solution (PBS) for at least 10 minutes prior to testing. While holding the lens concave side up, a central strip of the lens was cut using the cutting die. The thickness of 30 the strip was determined using a calibrated gauge (Rehder electronic thickness gauge, Rehder Development Company, Castro Valley, CA, USA). Using tweezers, the strip was loaded into 86 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 the grips of the calibrated Instron apparatus, with the strip fitting over at least 75% of the grip surface of each grip. A test method designed to determine the maximum load (N), the tensile strength (MPa), the strain at maximum load (% elongation) and the mean and standard deviation of the tensile modulus (MPa) was run, and the results were recorded. 5 [002261 The percent energy loss of the present silicone hydrogel contact lenses can be determined using routine methods known to persons of ordinary skill in the art. For the following Examples 1-28, the percent energy loss was determined using an Instron Model 3343 (Instron Corporation, Norwood, MA, USA) mechanical testing system, with a ION force transducer (Instron model no. 2519-101) and Bluehill Materials Testing Software including a 10 TestProfiler module. The energy loss was determined inside a chamber having a relative humidity of least 70%. Before testing, each lens was soaked in phosphate buffered solution (PBS) for at least 10 minutes. Using tweezers, the lens was loaded into the grips of the calibrated Instron apparatus, with the lens loaded vertically between the grips as symmetrically as possible so that the lens fit over at least 75% of the grip surface of each grip. A test 15 designed to determine the energy required to stretch the lens to 100% strain and then return it to 0% strain at a rate of 50 mm/minute was then run on the lens. The test was conducted only once on a single lens. Once the test was finished, energy loss was calculated using the following equation: Lost Energy (%) = (Energy to 100% strain - Energy to return to 0% strain) / Energy to 100% strain x 100%. 20 1002271 The ionoflux of the present lenses can be determined using routine methods known to persons of ordinary skill in the art. For the lenses of the following Examples 1-28, the ionoflux was measured using a technique substantially similar to the "lonoflux Technique" described in U.S. Patent 5,849,811, which is incorporated by reference herein. Prior to measurement, a hydrated lens was equilibrated in deionized water for at least 10 minutes. The 25 lens to be measured was placed in a lens-retaining device, between male and female portions. The male and female portions included flexible sealing rings which were positioned between the lens and the respective male or female portion. After positioning the lens in the lens retaining device, the lens-retaining device was then placed in a threaded lid. The lid was screwed onto a glass tube to define a donor chamber. The donor chamber was filled with 16 30 ml of 0.1 molar NaCl solution. A receiving chamber was filled with 80 ml of deionized water. Leads of the conductivity meter were immersed in the deionized water of the receiving 87 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 chamber and a stir bar was added to the receiving chamber. The receiving chamber was placed in a water bath and the temperature was held at about 350 C. Finally, the donor chamber was immersed in the receiving chamber such that the NaCl solution inside the donor chamber was level with the water inside the receiving chamber. Once the temperature inside 5 the receiving chamber was equilibrated to 35 degrees C, measurements of conductivity were taken every 2 minutes for at least 10 minutes. The conductivity versus time data was substantially linear, and was used to calculate the ionoflux value for the lenses tested. [002281 The oxygen permeability (Dk) of the present lenses can be determined using routine methods known to persons of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the Dk value can 10 be determined using a commercially available instrument under the model designation of MOCON@ Ox-Tran System (Mocon Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA), for example, using the Mocon Method, as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,817,924, which is incorporated by reference herein. The Dk values of the lenses of the following Examples 1-28 were determined using the method described by Chhabra et al. (2007), A single-lens polarographic measurement of 15 oxygen permeability (Dk) for hypertransmissible soft contact lenses. Biomaterials 28: 4331 4342, which is incorporated by reference herein. [00229] The equilibrium water content (EWC) of the present lenses can be determined using routine methods known to persons of ordinary skill in the art. For the lenses of the following Examples 1-28 a hydrated silicone hydrogel contact lens was removed from an 20 aqueous liquid, wiped to remove excess surface water, and weighed. The weighed lens was then dried in an oven at 80 degrees C under a vacuum, and the dried lens was then weighed. The weight difference was determined by subtracting the weight of the dry lens from the weight of the hydrated lens. The water content (%) is the (weight difference/hydrated weight) x 100. 25 [002301 The percentage of the wet extractable component or dry extractable component in a lens can be determined by extracting the lenses in an organic solvent in which the polymeric lens body is not soluble in accordance to methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art. For the lenses of the following Examples 1-28, an extraction in methanol using a Sohxlet extraction process was used. For determination of the wet extractable component, a sample 30 (e.g., at least 5 lenses per lot) of fully hydrated and sterilized contact lenses was prepared by removing excess packaging solution from each lens and drying them overnight in an 800 C 88 WO 2012/118681 PCT/US2012/026222 vacuum oven. For determination of the dry extractable component, a sample of polymeric lens bodies which had not been washed, extracted, hydrated or sterilized was prepared by drying the lens bodies overnight in an 80* C vacuum oven. When dried and cooled, each lens was weighed to determine its initial dry weight (W 1). Each lens was then placed in a perforated, 5 stackable Teflon thimble, and the thimbles were stacked to form an extraction column with an empty thimble placed at the top of the column. The extraction column was placed into a small Sohxlet extractor attached to a condenser and a round bottom flask containing 70-80 ml methanol. Water was circulated through the condenser and the methanol was heated until it gently boiled. The lenses were extracted for at least 4 hours from the time condensed 10 methanol first appeared. The extracted lenses were again dried overnight at 80* C in a vacuum oven. When dried and cooled, each lens was weighed to obtain the dry weight of the extracted lens (W2), and the following calculation was made for each lens to determine the percent wet extractable component: [(W1-W2)/W1] x 100. 15 EXAMPLE 1 [00231] A polymerizable composition was obtained by mixing and filtering the following chemical compounds in the specified amounts, using the procedure described in the Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lens Fabrication and Testing Procedure given above.
